POETRY.
OUR BELOVED DEAD.

They say if our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place,
Some stranger would be there instead,
And they would find no welcome face.
/ cannot tell how it might be
In other homes-but this know,
Could my lost darling come to me.
That she would never find it so.
Oft-times the flowers havecomeand gone,
Outlines the winter winds have blown.
The while her peaceful rest went on,
And have learned to live alone.
Have slowly learned from day to day
In all life s tasks to bear my part;
But whether grave, or whether gay,
hide her memory in my heart.
Fond, faithful love has blest my way,
And friends are round me true and tried
They have their place-but hers o-day
Is empty as the day she died. -
How would 1 spring with bated breath,
And joy too deep for word or sign,
To take my darling home from death.
And once again to call her mine
I dare not dream-the blissful dream,
1t fills my heart with wild unrest;
Where yonder cold white marbles CLEAN,
She still must slumber-God knows
best.
But this know, that those who say
Our best beloved woul find no peace
Have never hungered every day
Through years and years-for one sweet
face. Troy Times.

THE CRAZE OF coAsrlNe.

A lightning Procession Of Coastine
Observation-Disclosures methods.
The other day Howard street Hill was
lined on either side with men and women
roaring with laughter. Strangers who
added TO the throng and looked ON some
times joined in the merriment, but at
other times held their breath at what
they saw. The boys had poured water
down the middle of the street and it had
frozen into narrow roadway of silyery
ice. Along this slippery slanting path
there shot lightning like procession of
coasting machines of sorts the most re-
markable that Were ever seen together.
First there would come half a dozen
fragile painted sleds, followed by an
errand boy in soap box nailed to
sled, with brown paper fiuttering out
from under him to show that he was
supposed to be delivering parcel some
where. -. .sas AS d
Next came eight little urchins on a
piece of rough plank, flying as if they
were falling from the clouds. Swiftly
pursuing the plank came boy on the
lid of q trunk, a girl on a square block
of ice, a boy on a side of such a box as
oranges come in, with another boy
astride of his back, all flying down at
sixty miles an hour. Close upon these
came young lady and boy upon
toboggan, more painted sleds, another
errand boy on q soap box, and, strangest
sled of all, door mat, that had been
been wet and frozen stiff, bearing a
ragged girl, revolving around and around
after the manner of pinwheel, and vet
darling down hill like a fash.
But there were many other strange
sights to come. One was that of boy
fitting by with nothing beneath him,
while close to his back came the square
block Of wood that had slipped from
under him. Another boy slid along in
side decrepit old basket, and one went
by like swallow on little piece OF
wood under which he had screwed a pair
of skates to serve as sled runners. II
was not so much coasting as coasting
burlesque, so utterly ridiculous were
most Of the methods employed to get
down the hill The truth was that as
each boy happened along and caught
sight Of the glittering path of ice he
threw himself upon it if he had sled,
or, if he had none, he got the first thing
that came to his hand to sit upon. Night
after night this crazy coasting goes on,
and thus far there is no news Of any one
having been seriously hurt.--Albany Cor

Miss Grace Kohler, the daughter

Miss Grace Kohler, the daughter
of u farmer living near Clay Hill,
Pa, has eloped with Edward Stoaer,
a widower, under romatic circum-
stances. Her parents we're opposed
to the match, and while they were
away from home she sent for Stoner,
but the old folks returned before he
arrived. She left the house and
climbed a pine tree to wait for him.
Her parents searched for her, and
she could see them by the aid of the
moonlight, but was invisible to them.
She soon joined Stoner, and they
were married at Greencastle.

The sneenlng Spot.

As journal representative sat in the
chair Of a Maiden lane barber the other
day, the genial artist Of the brush OBJ
served that the journalist meezed when
his hair was combed. ''Did touch the
sneezing spot?" inquired the barber. He
then proceeded to explain that the "sneez-
ing spot was a sensitive place to the left
Of the middle of the forehead. "Why,
said he, "there are men who come in here
whosneeze regularly every time l comb
their hair ca shave them just as soon az

Just for fun" some of the social
ed humorists of Sharon, Mercer
county. Pa, persuaded an old darkey
to run for chief burgess. On the
day of the election he paraded the
streets mounted on white horse,
bedizened with bells and red, white
and blue ribbons, his rider being
adorned with a tall white hat, linen
buster and covered with maDy-color-
ed ribbons. The joke took so very
we'll that the man came within three
votes of being elected.
